Luckily he's at 9 GS...he shouldn't fall too far. Maybe only 1 week of poor GS?

I think it must have happened from my cell phone.

350k was clearly overpriced for him, so I'm not surprised I was the only bid. Once he comes back from his injury he can actually be a semi-useful backup to finish off the season, I guess.


That's one of my biggest fears in this game....As a GM I hear all of the time of people freaking out because they didn't mean to place that bid, or their phone did it, or whatever the case is....It happens enough that I realize it can happen to anyone. I think only Brian, Shikago, and Daryk can afford such a mistake...for the rest of us, those mistakes can be devistating financially :-(

I hope that doesn't hurt too bad long term.

Whoops, underestimated my opponent and overrated my lineup. I seem to do that a lot. Bill Simmons talks about an Irrational Confidence Player, I seem to be an Irrational Confidence BB Manager.

So 3 of the New York Jests Top 4 salaries are guards. I'm tempted to call them the Silverbacks of the Red conference.

Wow, the team I'm playing has made over $13 million on the TL in under 2 years.

Clicked on a bunch of random transfers. I guess when you can buy a $1k 18 year old starter potential guy & sell him for $200k... sell star potential rookies for $250k & $300k... AND ROLE PLAYER POTENTIAL for almost $500k... it adds up quick. (there were quite a few 6th man, role players, etc moved for huge amounts of $)

besides the rookies, the other key seems to be listing your regular players at double what they should sell for til someone bites.

There's your keys for financial success. You're welcome.



Edit: Just clicked on another random transfer... A 6th man potential rookie sold for $530k! (21133675)
I guess this is the future of BB?

Or instead of whining like a little girl, you could report him and have an investigation started to find out if this guy is cheating ;) just saying ;)

see... i didn't think he was necessarily cheating. Only after the edit & seeing a couple more extremely iffy sales it crossed my mind. Thought he was just a price gouger / aggressive day trader.

Like right now, literally half his team is up for sale. As it probably always is. Just looking at the bottom 3 players:

--> 18 year old with star potential: atrocious inside shot, pitiful inside defense, pitiful rebounding, no skill higher than respectable.... yours for only $220k!

--> 18 year old PAS: under $2k salary, generally bad. only $180K! what a steal!

--> 33 year old bench warmer, max skill is average, but salary over $1k, so he won't save you money over buying & firing scrubs... only $100k! you can't go wrong, pull the trigger!


If someone bites, is it cheating? IIRC his sales went to different countries too.

Nice comeback. Down 6 with about 30 secs left & you won in regulation!
Wasn't expecting your game to be the close one. Well, til i saw the lineup...
